Removing the pictures
To remove one or more pictures, open the
removal door as shown. Pictures can be
removed and reinserted as desired.
Caution: Store only Polaroid 500 instant
color film pictures in the storage compart-
ment. Before loading a new pack of
film, remove all the pictures and the
film cover. Then close the picture
removal door.
Full storage compartment
When the storage compartment is full, the
camera will not allow you to take another
picture until you remove the pictures. As a
reminder, the red light will flash and the
camera will sound a two-tone beep.
Picture counter
The picture counter counts
down, indicating the number
of pictures left, and displays
a red zero as soon as you
take your last picture.
Empty film pack
The camera will not function when the film
pack is empty. The red light will flash and
the camera will beep when you take the
last picture, and when you press the
shutter button or open the camera. To
remove an empty film pack, open the film
door and slide the pack out by its edges.
Brightness override
For most situations, leave the control
at the normal (center) setting.
Use this control to reshoot a picture to
make it lighter or darker.
To take a lighter picture, slide the control to
the right, towards the white-dot arrow.
To take a darker picture, slide the
control to the left, towards the black-dot
arrow.
Be sure to reset the control to the
normal setting before taking your next
picture. (When you close the camera,
the control will automatically be reset to
normal.) The control cannot be set
when the camera is closed.
